The cover of the August issue of Rolling Stone features a photo of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. A post announcing the cover on Rolling Stone's Facebook page has drawn 14,000 comments in less than 24 hours.

The controversial August issue of Rolling Stone magazine featuring accused Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on the cover won't be sold at CVS pharmacies, according to a statement.

Updated below: Walgreens also won't carry the cover.

In the statement, the company cited its strong presence in New England.

"CVS/pharmacy has decided not to sell the current issue of Rolling Stone featuring a cover photo of
the Boston Marathon bombing suspect," the statement read.

"As a company with deep roots in New England and a strong presence in
Boston, we believe this is the right decision out of respect for the
victims of the attack and their loved ones."

Rolling Stone posted the cover to its Facebook page on Tuesday. The teaser for the story says, "The Bomber: How a Popular, Promising Student Was Failed By His Family, Fell into Radical Islam, and Became a Monster."

The post has drawn more than 14,000 comments in less than 24 hours. One comment, which drew more than 1,000 "likes," said, simply, "[Expletive] you. Sincerely, Boston. #BostonStrong".

Update at 2:20 p.m.: Walgreens announced on Twitter that it, too, won't carry the issue.
